The Kenner Police Department deployed a SWAT team Wednesday afternoon to an apartment where a man is reportedly barricaded with a gun. Kenner police spokesman Brian McGregor said the department responded to a report of a suicidal man in the Sun Lake apartment complex just before 4:30 p.m.

McGregor said Kenner Police have cleared the area surrounding the apartment in the 800 block of Joe Yenni Boulevard and that the man is believed to be armed. He said the Police Department received a call from a suicide hotline that the man was suicidal and armed with a gun.
